Key themes in policing is a new textbook series that is designed to fill a growing need for titles which reflect the importance of incorporating ‘research informed-policing’ and engaging with evidence-based policing within Higher Education curriculums. It will reflect upon the changing landscape of contemporary policing as it becomes more politicized, professionalized and scrutinized, and draw out both change and continuities in its themes.

For students of policing and criminal justice it is important to understand how reoccurring issues are impacting on the police and policing bodies, the criminal justice system and society more widely. Books in this series will support policing and criminal justice programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level by providing a comprehensive analysis of the research-based evidence available and reflect contemporary challenges in policing and related criminal justice in light of such issues as police reform and conditions of austerity.

Each title in the series will include further reading sections and review questions to aid students’ understanding of the subject.
